Casita Ristra is a freestanding house artfully created to give one couple or one single that perfect luxury downtown Santa Fe living experience. Read my reviews, please, as even my great photos don't quite show how exceptional - inviting and peaceful - the feeling in the casita truly is! You will love the sense of how much care has been put into making this your favorite place to retreat, while being minutes from everything!

Quiet and hidden behind a unique locked gate, Casita Ristra is only three short blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, two blocks from the Georgia O’Keeffe museum and one from the Santa Fe Convention Center. The Guadalupe Railyard District is also only a few blocks away.

Sunny with high ceilings, hand-carved beams in every room, numerous skylights and historic-style divided-light windows. Colorful Southwest rugs and color scheme warm and brighten the spirit. Feel at home in every way!

You have a private coyote-fenced flagstone patio in the front courtyard perfect for coffee or barbecue at the umbrella table seating 4 (for your old or new friends!) and a covered pergola patio off the master so you can relax in the shade or watch the snowfall in winter.

We clean the casita ourselves, so it is CLEAN (read: pristine) and everything works!

Ask about combining this casita with others nearby. Or for my assistance in your real estate interests - I am a New Mexico licensed Santa Fe Realtor, devoted to my clients!

About Victoria Rogers

I truly enjoy sharing this beautiful casita and the downtown Santa Fe lifestyle with the many wonderful new and return guests who choose Casita Ristra. I’m a retired RN, practicing massage therapist of more than 20 years, museum-collected photographer and conscientious NM Real Estate Broker! Bringing care and quality to every guest's experience is my goal. I was enchanted by New Mexico in 1979 and since then, I've had an artist's romance with the landscape and the culture. My collaborative book 'Santa Fe's Historic McKenzie Neighborhood' was published with history and original artwork of the architecture of the area where the casita is located! You are invited to receive special tips on what Santa Fe has to offer (from a local), for short-term or longterm visits or life change (happy to show you around and give you insight into Santa Fe's real estate market).

Victoria Rogers purchased this House in 2015

Why Victoria Rogers chose Downtown

Having created and managed a number of vacation rentals in this wonderful historic neighborhood since 2007, I am delighted to be giving all my attention now to the premium comfortable and ideally located Casita Ristra to bring the best of all experiences to visitors to Santa Fe.

Back patio continues interior acid-wash cement floor - just like another room but outside the bedroom, with covered pergola and handsome furniture for reading, chatting, sipping, lapsing into bliss.

Beautiful Casita with every amenity. Completely private, yet a 5 minute walk from the Plaza! And many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Plus, and this is very important to us, we we able to have our canine companion with us. Victoria was available and very helpful with regard to all things local. We often travel through Santa Fe and this will be our go to place.

Cozy little place with all the style and charm you could ever want! Owner is a very talented designer and it shows in every detail inside and out. The location is great and we had a wonderful time exploring Santa Fe and the surrounding area. Highly recommend this small slice of heaven!

This place is great. Quaint, clean, and fully loaded. Victoria is an impeccable host, leaving no detail untouched. The location makes rental all that much more ideal.

Great location and dog friendly!

We loved this warm and tasteful abode. Totally outfitted for cooking. Location was superb to walk to museums, the plaza and restaurants. Our dog liked running in the enclosed yard.

Beautifully appointed home in a great location.

The property is not only located close to the Plaza, but is easily accessible from other areas of Santa Fe. The property has been completely redone in a very tasteful and comfortable one bedroom. The best part is the hostess who is not only available to provide assistance with the property, but is, herself, a repository of information on Santa Fe and the surrounding neighborhood. This was a fantastic stay!

So happy you found everything to your liking during your week at Casita Ristra! I would welcome you both back anytime, Rob.

Downtown, Santa Fe, NM, USA

Truly extraordinary location - 3 short blocks (3/10-mile) from the historic heart of downtown Santa Fe - the Plaza! - and also to the Guadalupe Railyard District! Walk to museums/galleries/restaurants/shopping/churches, absolutely everything (even the buses that can take you the 3 or so miles to Museum Hill for the Folk Art Museum, Wheelright, Spanish Colonial Museum and Botanical Gardens!)

Owner is HAPPY to make suggestions for the places not to miss seeing, special events, share links for more information, provide tips on day trips and routes.

There is so much to see and do in Santa Fe. Hopefully you are coming for a bunch of days and can really enjoy the visit and also have a wonderful retreat in your quiet, private, luxury casita.
